Queen Ironheart

Dagny was eight years old when Ivar burned her home and slaughtered her family. He spared her not out of mercy, but curiosity. He wanted to see what would grow from a child forced to watch. Eight years later, Vestfold stands in a fragile peace built on a deal Dagny agreed to in order to buy time. Her father calls it diplomacy. Ivar calls it strategy. Dagny calls it preparation. While the kingdom believes peace will hold, she studies power, fear, and the way loyalty fractures under pressure. Ivar is feared because he kills quickly. Dagny intends to become something far worse. She does not simply want him dead, she wants him to understand what he created when he chose to let her live. From now on chapters will be added at anytime since I can't seem to abide by a schedule anymore.
